The internet roasts Vice President J. D. Vance for praising “President Trunp” for wavering on his tariff threats and striking an unimpressive deal with Mexico.
President Donald Trump recently acted on his long-held promise to impose steep tariffs on Mexico and Canada. The tariffs were partially imposed to pressure the countries to tighten their borders. However, tariffs were also the only plan that Trump had for the economy. Even when Americans warned him such measures would raise prices, he continued advocating for tariffs throughout his entire presidential campaign. As soon as he set 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada to go into effect, the countries responded with threats of retaliatory tariffs, and the stock market index, DOW, plunged over 600 points. A trade war was narrowly avoided when Trump and Mexico reached a deal. Trump would hold off on tariffs for a month while Mexico sent 10,000 troops to secure its side of the border.

MAPPA stay busy–we know that they have recently pushed out ZENSHU, their latest original anime series dabbling in fantasy out for the Anime Winter 2025 Season. Yet, they have also come back to finish out the finale of Attack on Titan on the big screen.
Our site has long been fans of the anime and every big reveal, shocking death, and memorable speech that has come with the story. So it was a given that we’d want to come together again to relive the global phenomenal that is Attack on Titan.
Attack on Titan: THE LAST ATTACK brings together the last two episodes of the critically acclaimed anime series into one monumental theatrical experience so fans can relive the epic finale of the global anime sensation on the big screen.
Debuting in 2013 (feels like a lifetime ago), Attack on Titan has become both a critical and commercial success worldwide and has garnered praise for its dark themes, stunning animation, and deep emotional and intellectual themes. Often regarded as one of the defining anime series in this modern generation, the series has been ranked as #23 on the top 250 TV shows of all time on IMDb (as rated by IMDB users), and three of the seasons have received a 100% critic’s score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Attack on Titan: THE LAST ATTACK brings together the last two episodes of the highly acclaimed anime series in a theatrical experience delivering the epic finale in a colossal-sized omnibus film.
Humanity lived quietly behind massive walls built to protect themselves from the threat of monstrous creatures called Titans. Their century of peace was shattered by an attack on their city that left a young child, Eren Jaeger, motherless and vowing revenge on the titans.
Years after joining the Survey Corps, Eren finds himself facing a deadly foe, and ultimately gains a special ability that unveils a new truth about the world he knows…
After venturing beyond the walls and separated from his comrades, Eren finds himself inspired by this new truth and plots the “Rumbling,” a terrifying plan to eradicate every living thing in the world. With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, a motley crew of Eren’s former comrades and enemies scramble to halt his deadly mission. The only question is, can they stop him?

What is a director, even one of Hollywood’s best, supposed to do after delivering an epic Best Picture winner? For Christopher Nolan, the answer is making one of the most famous epics ever. After some wild speculation and some big name casting news, we finally know exactly what story he will after Oppenheimer. Universal Pictures announced Nolan’s next movie is an adaptation of Homer’s The Odyssey.
The Latest Casting News From Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey
The latest casting news from The Hollywood Reporter reveals four new cast members for The Odyssey: Elliot Page, Himesh Patel, Bill Irwin and Samantha Morton. Once again, we don’t know who they will play in this film.
Deadline also reveals that Oppenheimer‘s Benny Safdie will reteam with Christopher Nolan on The Odyssey. In Opphenheimer, Safdie played physicist Edward Teller. But there’s no telling yet who the actor will play in this upcoming adventure.
Christopher Nolan Is Heading to Real-Life Odysseus Stop, Goat Island
Christopher Nolan isn’t known to do anything by halves, and for his latest movie, The Odyssey, he’s taking his crew to the real-life location that Homer supposedly imagined Odysseus visited, Goat Island in Siciliy—also known as Favignana island. Reports indicate the movie will also film in Sicily’s Eolian islands, U.K. and Morocco.
But what could measure up to a real-world location that Odysseus wandered through in his epic tale, cooking goats and gathering supplies? Nothing, if you ask us.
More About Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey
Christopher Nolan is moving on after Oppenheimer by going back. Way back. Described as a “mythic action epic,” his version of the ancient epic poem The Odyssey will rely on cutting edge technology to bring the story to life. Universal Pictures said the longtime IMAX enthusiast will be using “brand new” tech to shoot for the large-scale format.
But how he will shoot the film isn’t nearly as interesting as to what the film is actually about. It’s hard to imagine anyone would have guessed Nolan would adapt The Odyssey even if they had 20 years to figure it out. (If you don’t get that reference, this movie will be very educational for you!) Even then, there’s still so much we don’t know about the project. Will this be a traditional, faithful adaptation? Will it be a modern take on the story? And will Armand Assante and George Clooney appear for a Spider-Man: No Way Home style crossover?
While we don’t know any setting or style specifics, we can guess who is playing Odysseus. Matt Damon is set to lead the star-studded film. Nolan’s The Odyssey will also feature Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Zendaya, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Jon Bernthal, and Charlize Theron. We also know the movie will arrive in theaters on July 17 2026.
That gives us plenty of time to start guessing which legendary characters from Homer’s epic everyone is going to play. (Theron as Circe, Calypso, Penelope, or Athena? She’s perfect for literally all of them.) It also gives us time to wonder just how good this movie will be. No one delivers epics live Christopher Nolan. What’s he going to be capable of when he makes one of the most famous epics ever?
